Owners Fenway Sports Group will not make money on the £110million loan they provided to Liverpool FC for the building of Anfield’s new Main Stand.

A section of supporters have reacted angrily to details in the club’s recently released accounts which show that there is an interest rate of 1.24% payable on the inter-company loan from the club’s holding company UKSV Holdings Company Limited.

During the building work, which increased Anfield’s capacity to 54,074, the loan had been referred to as being “interest free”, which led to the belief that the money had come from FSG’s cash reserves.

However, it was in fact “premium free”. FSG have a credit facility which they used to secure the loan for £109,904,000 on favourable terms.
